Peek-a-Boo with Giuseppe

]]> These heels weren’t made for walking, but sauntering tippy-toe to your fashionably late appointment du jour instead. 

The Giuseppe Zanotti Peek-a-Boo Pump is a refined and polished pair; an open-toe gives you just enough space to show off the pedicure, and the padded leather insole stands by for support. While gold and silver were not meant to be, this Italian import is made with a dark grey chrome finish to complement a polished gold buckle.

Diamonds Are a Buddha’s Best Friend Too

]]> Feeling very Zen and peaceful sans jewels may be a path to happiness, but I’m sticking with Buddha on this one. The Sydney Evan Diamond Buddha Necklace is sure to bring you more than a Buddha’s smile, lighting up a bare neckline with its sparkly gold and jewel-bedecked finish. This Pave diamond Buddha charm and bail weighs in at a hefty 0.64 carats.

While a money mantra may be in order for the $1,490 price tag, a daily meditation just could be worth it. . .

Wrap Me Up in Chocolate

]]> Rich browns and copper bring out the best of Fall, and nothing can bring together a simple black outfit than a glittering scarf or shawl.  The Joshipura Metallic Wrap offers just the right amount of chic and glitz to make it a regular feature of a night at the theater, heading out to dinner with the in-laws, or just hosting your evening soiree.

Joshipura Metallic Wrap

Believe it or not, this one’s 100% wool; large enough to wear poncho-style on the cooler nights of summer, or wrapped up pretty as a picture as a classic scarf. 

I’m melting just thinking about it.

Joshipura Metallic Wrap: Neiman Marcus, $225

D&G Glenplaid Cami Dress

The Glenplaid Cami Dress features fine lace details with black trim; wrap a black cardigan or fitted jacket for a touch of formality, but go ahead and bare those shoulders for those after-work cocktails.
